Shade-y Endeavors

The word of the day, my friends, is lampshades. That’s right you can make a dramatic design statement just changing a lampshade. You can also turn a less than fabulous lamp into something much smarter with a different shade. Suddenly that lamp you hated is now more than tolerable. Web trollers should take a look at Lit Lampshades for some inspiration. Based in Seattle, the company creates its shades using local designers and letterpress papers. No word on pricing on the Web site but how much can it be? Besides you’re worth it.
